Last beach walk of 2021.Any New Years Eve plans – we are staying in (as usual!) Just the 5 of us…. and the cat and dog of course! 2021 has had it's lows but also some highs including a graduation, gcse results and a puppy . The best gift has been having everyone at home safe and well for Christmas / New Year. Here's to 2022, whatever it may bring!

On the 22nd December…. managing (just) to post daily in December How are you feeling this year? Definitely not the usual festive feelings, a different Christmas for us all. But big shop done (thanks to husband and a daughter), presents wrapped and under the tree….. apart from a few last minute fresh food bits, and the turkey and ham of course…. think we are set. How is your prep going? Are you feeling festive or festively different? As always I love to know!

On the 21st day of December….. Christmas treats…… my favourite easy make is Peppermint Bark"Recipe" is in my story highlights under Christmas treats. Just melt, bash, sprinkle and chill so not really a recipe! Also love mini mince pies (although don't make my own!) What's your favourite sweet treat at Christmas? Let me know!
